Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a member of the globin superfamily and is expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles. The encoded protein is a haemoprotein contributing to intracellular oxygen storage and transcellular facilitated diffusion of oxygen. At least three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
- UniProt Summary: Serves as a reserve supply of oxygen and facilitates the movement of oxygen within muscles.
